Pauline looked after our 15 month old boy Evan during the COVID 19 pandemic due to lack of childcare facilities. He absolutely loved going to Pauline`s house and she was always welcoming when my partner and I collected Evan.
It was a challenging time to be looking after children during the pandemic as many local amenities, such as libraries and play groups, were closed but Pauline always found something interesting for Evan to do. She has excellent organisational skills and Evan enjoyed playing arts and crafts with her, building blocks, playing in the garden and going for walks to local parks and the Portobello beach.
Pauline is very thoughtful and caring and has a personal touch with children. She has a good understanding of the needs and abilities of children and is warm, thoughtful, nurturing and energetic. I would definitely recommend Pauline, she`s such a lovely person and made Evan feel very welcome in her home. I`m sure a child of any age would enjoy spending time with her and playing in her house equipped with toys and games. I wouldn`t hesitate to contact Pauline in the future should our childcare arrangements change.
